BEYOND Personal Gym Celebrates Major Expansion

In a significant milestone for fitness enthusiasts across Japan, BEYOND, managed by World Fit Co., achieved its goal of expanding to 180 locations nationwide by May 26, 2026. This achievement marks a decade of commitment to wellness and physical transformation, beginning with the opening of its first gym, BEYOND Azabu-Juban, in June 2016.

The gyms have successfully penetrated from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south, creating a robust presence and connecting individuals to the world of personal training. More than just a gym, BEYOND is committed to offering people a pathway to positive life changes through body shaping. Alongside this milestone, the 181st gym, BEYOND Shimizu, opened its doors, solidifying the brand's status in the health and fitness industry.

Focus on Lifelong Fitness

Unlike many fitness facilities that promote quick fixes, BEYOND is dedicated to developing a culture that views exercise as an integral part of daily life. The brand aims to shift the perception of training from simply a physical endeavor to a means of fostering connections and encouraging new challenges among its members. This is evident in the various running and community events they hold, which facilitate interaction and support among participants.

Since 2022, BEYOND has hosted the BEYOND CUP, a body transformation contest inspiring many clients to embark on their personal fitness journeys. This initiative showcases the brand's commitment to not just fitness, but also community, turning the gym into a “third place” where individuals can connect with like-minded peers.

Recent Openings and Expansion Goals

On May 1, 2026, BEYOND opened the Nishi-Koyama gym, located in Shinagawa, Tokyo, with further expansions continuing with the Shimizu location. Other recent openings include Kurashiki, Kasuga Korakuen, and Gakugei Daigaku locations, further diversifying their reach across Japan.
